Huckberry's flagship adventure series is back in Japan and the DIRT crew is still hungry for adventure. This time, they’re diving into the Kansai region—where millennia-old traditions flow from the shore of Lake Biwa to surf breaks on the coast. Chef Coleman Griffin gives them a taste of the deep cultural immersion that inspires his culinary practice, from chef knives descended from samurai swords to fermented carp that went on to spawn sushi. And turns out, the perfect meal does exist, and the crew knew it as soon as they had a bite of their final omakase.
